This Day Was born.



Today sixtyone years ago, the Mahathma was shot dead.Everytime I see comments that are so bewildering.In Today's eveninger called'Star Of Mysore',somebody was blaming the Mahathma for giving reigns to westernised JawaharLal.I see so much immaturity in this statement.Are 'isms' created by individuals or are they named after that individual attains a certain status?

What are wrongs and rights? And who should judge?Aren't there political immaturists who are ruling this country.Somehow I have started hating anlyises ,especially when you are not living at that time and you are an onlooker after nearly half a century atleast.

A Silent Day.



This day is sunny,

And so my curtains are drawn.

I am alone with heat around me,

With silence born of nothingness.

An Option.





We all have options in life.We can be friendly or unfriendly.We can be familiar or just reticent and shy.Some of the options are unconscious and manifest automatically.I have been thinking about the option for interaction via the web.The thoughts have been rather emphasised as I am reading a story by Mary Higgins Clark's novel called"loves Music,loves dancing'.A crime occurs as the girl answers an advt. in the personal column.

The personals in the papers seeking friendship and love becomes dangerous.So also I think is a net friendship.Why? Because one has the option to be someone else even with slightly altered half truths.It is a self satisfying and also a dangerous option when one opts to be seen in live presense.I think one really does not know another through the web.It is not like meeting,my neighbour's sister-in-law who dropped in yesterday simply because she has seen me.

So i take the option with a pinch of salt.

Of Frauds and Foul Plays.




I was following the Satyam Computer's fraudulent image brought into the open.The question that arises is where were the auditors?Also the banker's to whom the annual balance sheet should be given.I think just like a very small man defrauding the Bank after taking a loan and moving off to another city, this ajor I.T. company too defrauded easily.I used to worry about the Poojari loan mela's in Banks.There were lots of loans given to moving population like a vegitable vendor, Iron shop man, and coconut vendors etc.Some really did well and paid and lots did not.Mostly Banks were providing for them as bad debts.

Now Satyam defrauding by showing revenue that was not earned at all, maens here is a man who just inflated his product and was defunct in a day.At this time I remember the suicide of a major film maker who was Mani Rathnam's( I hope I am correct as to the identity),G.V.Iyer? because he could not repay the loans he took.So too Silk Smitha an actress( Vamp actress) who fell prey to money lending and not getting it back.So money is a cause for downfall and misery.
